It just produces unnecessary code sign churn.

// This test measures performance of Monte Carlo estimation of the e constant.
//
// We use 'dart' method: we split an interval into N pieces and drop N darts
// to this interval.
// After that we count number of empty intervals. The probability of being
// empty is (1 - 1/N)^N which estimates to e^-1 for large N.
// Thus, e = N / Nempty.
